What Causes Intermittent Chest Pain On Left Side?

hi , im wondering about on and off chest pains on my left side. I had an ECG already a few months back and my doctor thinks it is Anxiety which I have and on meds for but the pain comes and goes. I did years ago pull my chest muscle and the doctor told me that since I did that I may have problems of it happening again.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intermittent chest pain on left side. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like angina , aortic dissection , pericarditis , gallbladder or pancreas problems , costochondritis , acid reflux or anxiety . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist again if condition is not getting well for tests other then ECG . Doctor may order TMT , cpmplete blood profile along with checking vital and angiography sometimes . Doctor may also refer you to psychiatrist for anxiety problem . For now do mind relaxinf exercises like meditation. Doctor may prescribe antidepressants .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
